Palliative interventions like balloon dilation and stenting are used to improve quality of life and make patients enable to eat more comfortably. This study was designed to determine the outcome of palliative care in esophageal cancer patients referred to Gorgan and Gonbad...

In order to determine grain yield stability and yield components in durum wheat, 49 genotypes from International Durum Yield Nursery (IDYN), received from International Research Center for Maize and Wheat Improvement (CIMMYT) with one cultivar as check, were studied in an alpha lattice design with two replications at five locations including Karaj, Darab, Neishabour, Khorramabd and Gonbad. Grai...

The purpose of this experiment, evaluating hetrotoxicity potential of aqueous extract of various organs of medicinal plant of Malva sylvestrisa L. on morphological, physiological characteristics and biochemical of total phenols of Cichorium intybus L. and Echinochloa crus-galli L. under hydroponic culture as two separated experiments in completely randomized design in botanical laboratory of Go...

    In order to investigation of genotype - environment interaction is essential for selecting compatible and stable genotypes in plant breeding. For this order analysis of genotype × environment interaction and identify barley stable genotypes for warm and humid regions, this study conducted in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications and 16 genotypes with two check cultivars in ...

Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.), like most other crops, is affected by various stresses. Therefore, cultivars that, in addition to the ability to produce higher yields, can maintain their yield potential in different years and locations are considered superior cultivars. In order to obtain high-yielding and stable genotypes of durum wheat, 16 lines with two control cultivars Dehdasht and Sey...
